NWNx4 error?

[AcadiusLost]

I've seen this in the GUI log a few times before, happened again last night:

Code: Select all

1:21:13 AM: * Server process has gone away.
1:21:13 AM: * Waiting 5 seconds before restarting the server.
1:21:18 AM: * Restarting server.1:21:26 AM: Error: DDE poke request failed: a request for a synchronous poke transaction has timed out.
1:21:26 AM: NWNX home directory F:\NWNx4 not accepted by server
1:21:31 AM: Error: DDE execute request failed: a request for a synchronous execute transaction has timed out.
1:21:31 AM: Execute failed!
1:21:31 AM: * Hook not installed or error during initialization

don't see anything suspicious in nwnx.txt or xp_mysql.txt to suggest that it couldn't access the DB or anything. It's not consistent, just an occational error it seems.

Hmmm, never seen that before. I wonder what makes a directory "not accepted" by the server. Something that locks the directory or makes it unreadable or unavailable?

p.s. Are you running it as a service or do you launch it each time you want to run the server? Perhaps restarting NWNx4 before the process has fully shut down causes it?
